# Ingredient List:
→ Smoothie Base
01 - 1 cup frozen blueberries
02 - 1 frozen banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
05 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
06 - 1 teaspoon lemon zest
07 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
→ Toppings

09 - 1/4 cup granola
10 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

# How to Prepare:
01 - Place frozen blueberries, sliced frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey or maple syrup if using into a blender canister.
02 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Add additional almond milk by tablespoon if mixture is too thick to blend properly.
03 - Divide the blended smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to scrape all contents from the blender.
04 - Arrange fresh blueberries, granola, shredded coconut, and chia seeds attractively on top of each smoothie bowl. Finish with a light sprinkle of fresh lemon zest.
05 - Serve right away while cold and thick. The smoothie consistency will soften as it sits, so enjoy promptly for the best texture.
